Iverson's ability to make fouls is extremely strong, and the porcelain king Harden of later generations often averages more than 10 free throws per game in the season, but Iverson has the feat of 11.5 free throws in two consecutive seasons!

Even counting Iverson's later wandering seasons, Iverson averaged nine free throws per game throughout his career!

Such a terrifying ability to make fouls, but Iverson's free throw ability is not good......

At least in the point guard position, it is not very good, it is at a lower than average level.

For example, Iverson averaged sixth points per game in his rookie season, but he was ranked last in the top 10 in terms of free-throw percentage!

Postman Malone, Olajuwon, and Ewing all had better free throw shooting percentages than Iverson that season!

Iverson's free-throw shooting percentage hovered around 70 percent most of the season, while the top point guards who made free throws had a free throw shooting rate close to 90 percent or even more than 90 percent.

This is also the reason why Richard just said that Iverson paid attention to free throws!

Imagine that Iverson's free throw shooting rate can be kept close to 90%, then Iverson's average points per game can be increased by at least one point!

One point may not seem like much, but considering that a player can play around 1,000 games in his entire career, then Iverson's career total can increase by 1,000 points!

That's a number that can't be ignored!

Richard clearly remembers that Iverson's career average is 26.7 points per game, and if he can really improve his free throw ability, he can almost increase his average to about 28 points per game!

A score average of 26.7 points per game, and an average of 28 points per game, are not the same concept at all!

The feeling that the former gives to fans is not particularly outstanding, just a data of about 20 points per game.

And the latter gives fans the feeling that it is a data that averages close to 30 points per game!

Close to an average of thirty points per game, what kind of concept is that?!

In the entire history of the NBA, as far as Richard knows, only the basketball god Jordan and the coach Chamberlain have more than 30 points in their careers, and they have not exceeded much, all of them have an average of 30.1 points per game!

And further down, there is not even an average of 29 points per game......

Nor did those who averaged 28 points per game......

If Iverson really improves his free-throw percentage, by the end of his career, he will be the first man under Jordan and the big boss!

This is an amazing achievement!

Although Iverson will probably go to the draft after playing this season, although he will meet in the NBA in the future, Iverson is likely to be Richard's opponent.

But Richard decided to give Iverson a hand.

For no other reason than that he was Iverson......

……

Iverson left the office with a smile on his face, and Richard picked up his coat and prepared to go out to pick it up.

Naturally, I went to the airport to pick up Dazhi, and Dazhi will set foot in this basketball mecca in two hours.

Driving his used Ford, Richard set off.

Dazhi came, and Richard inexplicably had a wave of anticipation in his heart.

The young man who was delayed in his previous life, with his help, can he finally reach the height of Yao Ming's achievements in this life?

"Yes! Absolutely! ”

"With the pill of changing his life against the sky, Dazhi's future achievements will definitely not be bad, after all, he can also get A-level talent, which is enough for Dazhi to become an all-star level player!"

When it was confirmed that Dazhi would come to play, Richard had already determined the usefulness of the life-changing pill against the sky!

For Dazhi!

After using it, he got a strong talent, and he integrated into the basketball atmosphere of Lao Mei early, and was not delayed by those institutionalized things in China, Richard really didn't believe that Dazhi couldn't play.

At the pick-up gate, Richard saw Dazhi's figure from afar.

The main reason is that his height, placed in a group of ordinary people, is really a bit out of the crowd!

Dazhi, who is seven feet tall, appeared at the airport, which is really eye-catching.

"Dazhi!"

"Dazhi!"

Richard waved his hand and shouted, in Mandarin.

"Uncle Li, hello!"

"I'll ask Uncle Li to take care of me in the future!"

Walking up to Richard, Dazhi said to Richard a little shyly......

"Good! All right! ”

"It's good to come, Dazhi, do a good job, don't live up to my expectations and your father's expectations!"

Richard applauded repeatedly, originally worried that Dazhi would be resistant to coming to the United States alone and affect his future training, but now it seems that there is no need to worry at all.

"Call me Brother Li in the future, don't Uncle Li, I'm not much older than you......" Richard smiled and patted Dazhi's arm.

Hearing this, Dazhi hurriedly shook his head.

"That's not good, Uncle Li, my dad said, you are my nobleman, you must be respectful, and you and my dad are peers, I can't call you brother, isn't this messing up......" Dazhi scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Dazhi grew up in Beijing, so he has a mouthful of Beijing films.

"Well, then Uncle Li, it's okay to call it whatever it is! Let's go, follow me back to my residence first, I'll take you around tomorrow, and I'll take you to school the day after tomorrow! Richard couldn't help but say.

In Richard's heart, although he also likes Daben and Iverson and others under him, this kind of liking is different from his liking for Dazhi.

In Dazhi, Richard felt an indescribable cordiality, which may be because Dazhi has the same yellow skin and black hair as Richard, or it may be Dazhi's mouth of Beijing films, which evokes various memories of Richard's previous life.

The two drove back to their lodgings, and Richard was a little embarrassed.

"Dazhi, the accommodation is relatively simple, let's make do with it first, and after a few months, you will be able to live in the university dormitory."

Richard now lives in the school's faculty host, only about 20 square meters of room.

The reason why he lives so shabby is mainly because Richard has not yet had the financial resources to buy a house.

When I started as a student player manager as a boilermaker, I was unpaid, and then I became an assistant coach, and the salary was there, but it was not much, only 30,000 US dollars a year......

And after taking over as head coach this season, Richard's salary only rose to $100,000.

It stands to reason that the position of head coach of Purdue University, judging from the current market, should be roughly at the level of 500,000 to 1 million annual salary, and the former head coach was 900,000 annual salary, but it was later poached by the annual salary of 1.5 million yuan from other schools......

It can be said that Richard's salary is extremely shabby.

He naturally knows the reason, the school reached the elite quarterfinals last season, and this season is facing the problem of the coaching staff jumping ship and the big dog draft, the school should be ready to give up this season!

In this case, Richard was offered the position of replacement manager......

This is also the reason why Richard's salary is so low, he can only be regarded as the team's interim head coach, presumably the school should also be looking for a more suitable replacement.

Of course, with the boilermakers' record this season, Richard's head coach position must be secured, and a salary increase next season is a sure thing.
